Discussion about the FORTRESS race – Dwarves.

As for rune magic and the anti-gnome ability, there will definitely be some anti-rune spells, but using these runes will rarely be worthwhile. How often do you create artifacts for wizards? Only when you're rushing or when you've already built everything and have tons of resources. And even then, you often don't have enough resources for artifacts with multiple properties. Now imagine having to spend these resources on every battle; you'd go bankrupt right away! No, unless they make these runes cheap, you'll only be able to use them on the easiest difficulty.
